CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
How we calculate ROI per module.
Regulatory bases, sources and assumptions used to estimate losses avoided by the DROME platform in hospitals. Conservative estimates based on a mid-sized hospital (100–300 beds).

ASSUMPTIONS & METHOD
Assumptions and methodology
- Reference values. Each hospital has its own risk and operating profile.
- Conservative estimates based on a mid-sized hospital (100–300 beds).
- Effective ROI is calculated in an initial no-cost assessment, after a technical visit.
- DROME track record: average payback between 4 and 8 months for the platform’s 8 modules.
- Legal sources (ANVISA, ABNT, ANEEL) consulted in their most recent versions in force.
- Market sources (McKinsey, Deloitte, HIMSS, KLAS) used as a global benchmark.
